We, in India, had this damn history exam yesterday. But as you know my mind is made for thinking about food, so I couldn't help thinking what these godforsaken Governor-Generals and Viceroys ate for dinner or lunch for that matter! When they came to India to colonize it, did these Britons bring their own cooks or did they eat Indian food? What did Lord Cornwallis eat when he wasn't annexing states? When they went to Mysore did they have south-Indian food or did they create a fusion out of two cuisines? Like Dosas with Worcestershire Sauce! But Alas these are some of the questions which our big fat history books tries not to answer.
